The Parliament of Catalonia has seen the groups' activity noticeably paralyzed, awaiting the presentation this afternoon of a legal opinion on a future amnesty law by Jaume Asens in the Ateneu. But if the commons - Asens' own formation, integrated into Sumar - and the PSC have called off their press conferences so as not to anticipate events and ERC and Junts have not even set theirs, Ciudadanos has taken advantage of the media focus this Tuesday to announce that will promote an institutional declaration condemning Hamas' aggression against Israel.
"The Parliament of Catalonia expresses its deep rejection of the terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas against the population of Israel on October 6. Terrorism is a crime with no place in any democratic society, as it threatens Western values, takes innocent lives and causes crises. humanitarian actions of great significance in the territories that suffer from it," the statement begins, signed by the spokesperson for the Citizens group in Parliament, Anna Grau.
In his appearance before the media, for his part, the president of the parliamentary group, Carlos Carrizosa, has defended the opportunity of this declaration, which Ciudadanos will send to the Table to be debated in the meeting of spokespersons, since in the face of terrorism it does not The "equidistance" of which he accuses other groups in the Chamber such as the Commons, ERC and particularly the CUP, which has "aligned" with the "anti-Semitic" positions of Hamas in what may constitute, in the case of the anti-capitalist formation, as Carrizosa has stated, a crime of "apology for terrorism" that the Prosecutor's Office should investigate.
Carrizosa has denounced "the killings, kidnappings and rapes" perpetrated by a group with "jihadist, nationalist and anti-Semitic ideology" such as Hamas and has defended Israel as a "democratic and lawful State" that has seen its civilian population attacked. . However, and although the declaration seeks the "unanimity" of the parties in the Parliament, it is very unlikely that it can be approved by the board of spokespersons to be read in the next plenary session, given the political polarization that the Palestinian conflict is going through. -Israeli.
Be that as it may, the statement calls for showing “solidarity with all civilian victims” and maintains that “neither the Palestinian people nor their aspirations are represented by Hamas, a terrorist organization that holds the majority of Palestinians hostage to its goals.” Palestinians residing in Gaza”, a territory similar to that of the Maresme region in which more than two million people live.
On the other hand, Ciudadanos questions the "impunity project" that Carrizosa has stated involves the preparation of an amnesty law. For this reason, he has harshly attacked the initiative that is "preparing" the formation of the acting second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, leader of Sumar, whose purpose is to "empathize" and "forgive crimes" to the "political elite" that, in the opinion of the leader of Ciudadanos, a "fugitive from justice" like Carles Puigdemont belongs.
